There are others, who have no patience for some players. I understand your right to critique, as well as others. In the spirit of instant gratification, some players develop slower than others.

We have had 7 losing seasons in a row, and it has been down right frustrating, to wait for players, to meet their potential, as advertised when drafted out of college.

Some players are first year or second year, does that mean their a bust. Sometimes it’s just maturity and being in the right system to excel.

Think about it, most first year and second year players are 21, 22, and just left college. They have been pampered and told how great they are, then all of a sudden their expected to play a large role in the NFL. Not easy.

I disagree on DMac. I don’t see him as a Reggis Bush type of receiving back. I think he is more workhorse if you ask me. I think using him properly is 25-30 carries a game and 3 to 5 receptions. He’s a starter who could go the distance. Bush is a bullpen back.

504, Al Davis would kiss you on the lips for that observation.

DMAC needs to be healthy and on the field for 16 games this season, with an opportunity to put to rest the justified doubts.

I read your comment regarding your home, and size. Pretty nice.

Love the Pleasanton area. I have very good friends in Castro Valley. We eat in Pleasanton quite a lot when were in town.

I don’t think any of critiques are mean spirited. THese are observations of Raider fans. Do you think we all sit here wanting these guys to fail.

That’s what Priesttj and his gang think.

Chaz Shilens is any injury risk situation

Satele and Carlisle have been messing up

Tommy Kelly admitted in the paper yesterday that last year was a bad year and he was out of shape

JaDavis was on the Purple Drank and skipped meetings and was out of shape

DHB has not demonstrated that he is a serviceable, let alone, elite receiver at the NFL level after 12 starts and 5 preseason games

DMAC has missed time with injury and hasn’t put up the numbers.

Those are all facts and the Raiders have done little SO FAR to suggest much improvement (although J. Campbell & Hue Jackson is a clear upgrade)

Critiques are justified.

The offense looked stale last week and we all have a right to be concerned about that. Even if week 1

Chi and 49er game are the two games to see what ya have.
After that a week of rest and the season is upon us…
